SingleStore Helios SmartDR is a fully automated disaster recovery solution that replicates data and configurations to a secondary region, ensuring minimal downtime in case of a crisis. It differs from traditional disaster recovery solutions by not requiring idle computing resources in the secondary region, making it cost-effective. The solution prioritizes availability over consistency during failover, allowing customers to accept a five-minute window for potential data loss as part of their Recovery Point Objective (RPO). SmartDR offers pre-provisioning flexibility, enabling customers to test DR without disrupting production, and supports bidirectional replication, ensuring that new data entered in the secondary region is also replicated back to the primary region. The solution empowers users to operate mission-critical applications with confidence, featuring a highly available architecture, ACID transactions for real-time OLTP workloads, and fast data recovery through its online PITR feature.
